Please feel free to reply,thanks!!! >my email address: >thwon5@student.monash.edu.au > > Open Netscape or Mictosoft Internet Browser and cut and paste ftp://ftp.usr.com/pub/usr/dl07/ into the location bar ( Where the http://www.etc.. is normally seen) Download the file MDMUSRVI.INF 44527 05-24-96 which supports the Sportster Vi and Sportster Voice modems. Installation (as per US Robotics): From Device Manager or the Modems Control Panel, REMOVE all previously installed modems. From Device Manager, REMOVE all COM ports that were provided by the modem installation (i.e. if it is an internal modem creating a com port, remove it). Copy the MDMUSRVI.INF file to \Windows\INF. This will need to be done via the command prompt on most systems since the .INF directory is typically marked 'hidden'. Delete *.BIN from the \Windows\INF directory. Shutdown and then restart Win95.If the modem is in "PnP" mode, it should be auto-detected and installed. If the modem is in legacy mode, the user will need to use the "Add Hardware" or "Modems" control panel to install the modem. Good luck
